Female redditors: what is a physically uncomfortable or unusual feeling/sensation that only women understand?


  1. Period cramps so bad you begin to sweat, feel your face hot, lose all your strength and begin to pass out while sitting on the toilet.

  2. When the underwire starts coming out of your bra and it's poking you in the armpit painfully but you can't get somewhere private to try and poke it back in

  3. Sometimes you can have a type of period pain that isn't painful as much as it's a dull and kind of heavy feeling in the general area of your ovaries. Shit's weird.

  4. When your wearing a pad & somehow it twists to the sticky side against your vag then you pull down your underwear & give yourself a mini vag wax, just love that one!

  5. Ugh when you have discharge on your panties and you pee or (and clean it off) something then pull them back on and you feel like that wet spot. It reminds me of stepping in water with socks on.

  6. Getting up in the morning when you're on period. Trying to hop to the bathroom as fast as possible while the flood gates open.

  7. Sneezing during your period.

  8. When you don't realise it but the tampon didn't go in far enough, but you brave it for the next 45 minutes sitting very uncomfortably until it doesn't look strange that you are going back to the toilet to put a new one in

  9. Wanting to rub your eyes because they are sore or itchy but you have makeup on and all you can do is lightly touch the inside corner of your eye and hope it passes

  10. Not knowing whether you're a little bit wet, or you've just come on your period - and having no way to check in that moment.

  11. Feeling a clot pass when on your period.

  12. Fart bubbling up through your vagina. Nothing like it

  13. You can get a literal wedgie in your pussy. If you think a normal wedgie is uncomfortable, think again.
